0. Learn a new language, one that works differently from C. (Maybe lisp,
prolog or ada.)
1. Learn to ride a motorbike and get the license.
2. Finish developing "pot". (A programming language I'm designing.)
3. Tidy up the website a bit. Ask Thia if necessary.
4. All this web stuff is all very interesting, but remember you will not
make a living from it.
5. Use the bug tracking database. Don't be embarrased.
6. Remember why you are worth ten times more than the average programmer in
India.
7. Be more sociable with collegues and programmer friends.
8. Slashdot is not a good news source.
9. Get more exercise.

Bill, 45% on topic.

(Oh please follow-up.)
